Welcome back to the Mindset Magic with Mika podcast, you stellar soul! ✨

Working full-time and wondering how you’ll ever have time to study for the board exam? This episode is for you.

I sat down with IDr. Judiel Parabas, who passed the 2023 Interior Design Licensure Exam while working as a full-time interior designer—and he shares exactly how he made it work.

🎙️ Here’s what you’ll learn:
✨ How Judiel managed his time and energy while juggling work + exam prep
✨ The visual learning strategies that helped him retain concepts better
✨ How to stay calm under pressure (especially during the exam!)
✨ Why the board exam is a step—not your entire story as a designer

Judiel reminds us that passing the exam isn't the end goal—it’s part of a bigger journey. From gaining experience first to becoming a licensed designer and landing more opportunities, his story proves that there’s no single timeline to success.
